Well, regardless. It's here and we have it. Better to have it and have it be unisex rather than for it to not be in the game at all. They easily could've given us no new outfits whatsoever.

No offense to all the people who play females (or are females) but other then racial gear and the Bohemian Outfit there are no Male exclusive outfits in the game, while there are plenty of female exclusive outfits.
The problem isn't that men don't have enough exclusive outfits. The problem is there is a double standard with clothing that actively discourages and puts down men for doing or looking anything that could be conceivably feminine.
There shouldn't be anything gender locked, in my opinion.

The hilarious thing is that people will often make the argument that things like the bunny girl outfit would "look dumb" on guys. NEWSFLASH! The bunny girl outfit looks dumb on EVERYBODY! There are no excuses here. They should make it available for
everyone.

spoiler'd for slightly off-topicAnd while I'm at it, variations in the exact same clothing across gender lines makes no sense at all (I'm looking at you, dragoon gut window!). The ONLY difference that makes sense is the presence of a bra for female characters because support is good. That's it. The omission of key parts of an armor or clothing set specifically for skin exposure makes my skin crawl. If I want to dress up half-naked it should be with specific sets of armor that are designed for it on both sexes - which, actually, is exactly what I do and is the main reason I never, ever wear the dragoon set on my Miqo' female.

Precisely this, I don't even play male characters and I was genuinely disappointed when I noticed that girls could wear female and male wedding clothes, but males couldn't wear the bridesmaid clothing. Like we don't even need to delve into social justice to be bummed at this, it still sucks to see a bunch of characters get so one-sided-ly locked out of options. And of course if one does delve into social justice they would find even more good reasons to be bummed.
IT'S GOLD SAUCER DAY TOMORROW!!
*mass flailing*
...sorry not sorry, but I got my partner hooked in to the game and was even able to pay for his transfer to Balmung, all in time for this content to drop, so pardon my SUPERNOVA LEVELS OF HYPE!!
*continues with the mass flailing*
HOLY HELL IT'S SO MUCH MORE THAN I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE.
Shiiiiit, I need to stay away from this place, I'll get NOTHING DONE.
Chocobo breeding for races :>!
ALL OF THE TRIPLE TRIAD!!!
Must learn to play Triple Triad to get Fenrir :>
I never got far in FF8 ok. As soon as I realized my typical play style would get me my ass handed back to me in 8 I nope'd out of playing it.
I'll probably end up playing Triple Triad IC. It should make for some fun role-play opportunities.
I cannot WAIT for the RP that comes outta this place. Gambling FCs. Triple Triad motorcycle gangs. Chocorace tourneys. STEEL IN A BUNNY SUIT!!
And I almost forgot the music...THAT FREAKIN' MUSIC!!!
*f*cking explodes*
I have an odd feeling that any IC trip to the Golden Saucer for Chachan would be like a kid getting to go to Disneyland.
... He may need supervision.
